Sorry, but your response is wrong and shows how uninformed you (and many other people) are on this subject. You think spammers make money because you buy based on their email? Nope - this is not the case. There are lots of tricks spammers use to make money - try a google search on "how spammers make money" and do some research. Just selecting a message that is in one of your email folders (even if you are just selecting in order to delete the message) can generate revenue for a spammer. Many of the image tags in HTML messages are actually used for tracking whether a person reads a message or not. Spammers can make money from this information. Anti-spam tools will keep you from ever seeing this message.
